Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 April 2012
501 Deputy Sandra McLellan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the options available to a person (details supplied) in County Cork who has been told by their local authority that there is no funding available for housing adaptation for 2012 and maybe 2013; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20168/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraI recently announced details of the 2012 housing capital allocations to local authorities, totalling some €251.5 million. In excess of €6.6 million has been made available for the various housing programmes in Cork County Council. Of this, €384,116 has been allocated for necessary adaptations and extensions to meet the needs of tenants of local authority houses. The administration of this funding and the selection of properties for upgrading is entirely a matter for Cork County Council.
